The photography campaign celebrates scars of all shapes and sizes and the stories behind them and aims to challenge people’s perceptions.

The project is run by London-based Sophie Mayanne, whose aim is to photograph 1,000 people to tell their stories through their scars and disfigurements of all shapes and sizes, whether accidental or self-inflicted.

And to celebrate scars of all shapes and sizes and the stories behind them, Catrin proudly stripped to her underwear in a bid to raise awareness.

Speaking about the campaign, Catrin said: “It felt good and I wanted to show that my scars are not a big deal, I see them every day and I don’t feel uncomfortable about them.

“There are people out there who may feel ashamed or embarrassed by their scars and by me showing all mine, I wanted to make them feel more confident about theirs.”

About Catrin

Catrin Pugh from Rossett at the Alpe dÕHuez ski resort a couple of months before her accident in 2013.

Catrin is the oldest person in the world to survive such severe burns.

An inquest after the accident heard how the British bus driver, Maurice Wrightson, sacrificed himself to save the lives of his passengers on that fatal day.

He was descending the D211 road near the French ski resort Alpe d’Huez with a coach full of 52 Brits when as he neared the 21st hairpin bend the brakes failed.

He chose to smash into boulders rather than attempt the corner, knowing it was likely to kill him but save passengers, the inquest heard.

When Catrin was pulled from the wreckage of the crash in 2013, she was given a minimal chance of survival.

She was treated in the specialist burns unit at Whiston Hospital, Merseyside, for eight months while parents Sara and Carl and siblings Robert and Mari kept a bedside vigil.

She suffered post-traumatic stress disorder, had to learn to walk again and severely damaged her her eyesight.

“I remember being alight - unfortunately, I remember a lot. I remember being on fire, which is a very difficult thing to describe. I wouldn’t want it on my worst enemy,” she said.

“I remember being on the side of the road and looking at my arm and seeing that I was multi coloured and that skin was where it should not have been.

“That was when I knew something had happened. It felt like stinging and numbness at the same time.”

She added: “My eyes didn’t get burned, but because I was so ill and nearly lost my life on a number of occasions, it caused my optic nerve to get damaged.

“I have been left with no central vision and that’s what you use to see detail. I can’t see people’s faces. I will walk into a bar and I won’t be able to see my friends until I’m a foot away from them.”#

In 2016 she won a £1m-plus settlement.

Today, she is studying an adult access course in bio-sciences and is aiming to go to university to read physiotherapy.
